At the young age of 62.

 

Quote

Charles Phan, a chef whose love of food led to opening the popular Slanted Door restaurants and showcasing modern Vietnamese cuisine throughout the Bay Area and beyond, died on Monday, January 20. He was 62.

 

I was fortunate enough to eat at Slanted Door any number of times.  It was an excellent restaurant, and the later location in San Francisco's Ferry Building offered stunning views as well as  fabulous food.

 

RIP, Chef.

Sad. Too young. I never ate there, but I do have The Slanted Door cookbook.

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."
